The study area is a part of Zagros Orogeny and located in the Sanandaj-Sirjan
metamorphic Zone (SSMZ).
Pelitic schists from this
metamorphic zone have a lustrous silvery aspect and are coarser grained than those from the garnet zone.
The southwest areas of Azna plain is located in Zagros zone tectonically and the north-eastern zone of is located in
metamorphic zone of Sanandaj-Sirjan.
Wollastonite is a major component of the
metamorphic zone on the west side of the sanbornite-rich veins.
Incremental counts were made of the leptocephalus growth zone, the
metamorphic zone, the glass-eel growth zone, and from the "elver" check (transition mark) to the edge of the otolith (see Cieri and McCleave, 2000).
Suriname's portion of the Shield consists of two high-grade
metamorphic zones in the western part of the country, and a semi-circular low-grade
metamorphic zone stretching from the southeast to the northwest.
Tectonic stacking of
metamorphic zones in Cheticamp River area, Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia.
But if 2D deformation occur around natural
metamorphic zones, e.g.
Svecofennian
metamorphic zones in the basement of Estonia.
Among the scientific accomplishments of the Coast Mountains project were the discovery of "tadpole" granitic plutons, demonstrating the generation of granite in deep root zones leading to bodily upward movement in the dilatant "heads"; and the discovery of the then youngest high temperature-high pressure
metamorphic zones in the circum-Pacific.
